Have Insight Into Two Main Causes Of Aortic Valve Stenosis
by Vivek Choudhary Nice lifeAortic valve stenosis also referred to as aortic stenosis takes place
with the narrowing of your heart's aortic valve over time. A top cardiologist in India affirms that
as a result of the narrowing, the valve is prevented from opening
fully and normally. This causes a reduction or blockage of blood flow into the
aorta (the main artery of your body) from the heart. Subsequently, blood flow
to the rest of your body parts is also significantly reduced.
Causes
·
As per a cardiologist in Patna, the two
main causes because of which aortic valve stenosis happens are as follows:
1.
Congenital
heart defect
o
There are three cusps that comprise the
aortic valve.
o
These cusps are tightly fitted and resemble a
triangle.
o
A few children have a congenital aortic valve
that’s bicuspid in nature which means it has only two cusps in contrast to
three.
o
Even people are found to develop only one cusp
(unicuspid) or four cusps (quadricuspid).
o
However, such conditions do seldom have
occurrences.
o
Till the time of attainment of adulthood, this
congenital defect may not lead to any problems.
o
However, once you’re an adult, the aortic valve
may exhibit a narrowing or leakage which as
a consequence may call for a repair or replacement.
o
When you develop an abnormal aortic valve by
inheritance, it necessitates regular assessment by a heart specialist in Patna to keep
a watch on signs associated with valve problems.
o
In the majority of cases, doctors aren’t
really aware of the exact reason that causes improper development of a heart
valve.
o
Therefore, this abnormality is something that you
couldn’t have prevented in the first place.
2.
Calcium
buildup on the valve
o
As you age, your heart may experience aortic valve
calcification with the gradual deposition and accumulation of calcium.
o
A cardiac surgeon from a reputed heart hospital Patna says
that with the recurrent flow of blood through the aortic valve, calcium
deposits can build up on the cusps of the valve.
o
These calcium deposits are usually generated
because of the intake of calcium tablets or the consumption of drinks fortified
with calcium.
o
In general, these calcium deposits hardly cause any
problems.
o
But, when people come down with an abnormally
developed aortic valve, for example, a bicuspid valve, calcium deposits
can cause the cusps of the valve to stiffen.
o
Such stiffening that usually occurs at a younger
age can result in the narrowing of the aortic valve.
o
Nonetheless, aortic valve stenosis that’s brought
into being because of increasing age, as well as a gradual calcium deposition,
is most commonly found among the elderlies.
o
As a matter of fact, the aortic valve stenosis is
found to cause hardly any symptoms until someone attains the age
of 70 to 80.
At Paras, a leading heart hospital in Patna, cardiologists
and cardiac surgeons having substantial experience and expertise in
treating heart conditions and performing heart surgery respectively,
collaborate with imaging specialists to form a multifarious team aimed
at finding out the most suitable treatment of your condition of aortic
valve stenosis. The multidisciplinary team approach ensures doctors in
evaluating your case and chalking out an appropriate treatment plan
within a couple of days.
